Hussein al-Sharaa, the Syrian president’s father, reacted harshly to the attack near the palace.
In a Facebook post, he criticized Israel, calling it a “Zionist enemy” and accusing it of attacking Syria under the pretext of protecting the Syrian Druze.
He said that Israel “has been destroying and oppressing the Palestinians in Gaza and the Judea-Samaria for two years, while everyone in the region just watches.” He said Syria would not remain silent.
Although it does not have anti-aircraft missiles, aircraft or long-range artillery, he said the Syrian people, trained to fight and survive in difficult conditions for 14 years, would be the greatest weapon against Israel.
“We will fight tooth and nail, and even those who have been driven from our land will join us,” he wrote.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a joint statement confirming the strike near the presidential palace in Damascus.
They said the strike was intended to send a clear message to the Syrian government that Israel will not allow forces from the south to advance toward Damascus or any threat to the Druze community.
